PHOENIX—GrandStay Hospitality, LLC named Multi-Systems, Inc.’s MSI CloudPM to be the preferred cloud property management system for its new construction hotels.

The GrandStay Chisago in Minnesota was the first new-build property in the chain of 26 existing hotels to deploy MSI CloudPM. According to the company, the MSI cloud PMS solution offered a low investment with remote deployment and training and no upfront costs.

Jon Kennedy, President of GrandStay Hospitality, LLC stated, “We witnessed the benefits and value of an above-premises property management system in MSI CloudPM. As a current customer of MSI NiteVision, we had peace of mind knowing MSI offers stable products and secure services. This new cloud technology is a perfect fit for GrandStay, especially our new construction hotels.”

“‘MSI is very easy to use’ was heard from our front desk associates after their first day in training,” stated Brenda Yearley, area manager of CBM Hospitality, the management company overseeing the Chicago GrandStay hotel project. “Overall, we were very pleased with the training provided.”

HX: The Hotel Experience Has Its Own Story to Tell
The Hotel Business team just returned from this year’s HX: The Hotel Experience, which was held in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. As we usually do post-event, we talk amongst ourselves about trends we noticed at the show, held in conjunction with BDNY. And while the latter—and now larger—show was abundant with design trends (let’s just say blue seemed the prevalent color; bold, geometric forms the dominant shape; and metallics a common thread…pun intended!), the more traditional “hotel” side of the convention center had its own story to tell.
